Great War truck Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) This is the second one of these that i have seen come up for sale in a short period of time. At £209 the new owner probably thinks it original.

Minesweeper Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I have heard that some Railway Locomotive Works Plates are being copied by being cast using originals as the pattern - and then left outside in the garden to weather so that they look old. Buyer beware! Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 yet another one has just sold. £194 this time. Same engine number as well. I really regret not buying that one i saw at Beaulieu now for £60. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260998307124?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Buyer beware!

Great War truck Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Here is another replica plate http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260998467332?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 This time a Hunslet. It would look nice on my wall, but not for more than £30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
